I am the Greatest!

I bet you thought I was just being "Me" and making a proclamation eh?

No...

I was remembering a song I had heard many years ago that always brought a smile to my face. It is sung by Kenny Rogers, and it has always reminded me that when God gives you lemons, you make lemonade...

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do, it reminds me of something I would say when I was a little boy...

Little Boy, in a baseball hat
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
Says I am the greatest player of them all
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
Swings his bat all the way around
The world's so still you can hear the sound
The baseball falls to the ground

Now the little boy doesn't say a word
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
And he grits his teeth and he tries it again

And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
Swings his bat all the way around
The world's so still you can hear the sound
The baseball falls to the ground

He makes no excuses,
He shows no fears
He just closes his eyes
and listens to the cheers

Little boy, he adjusts his hat
Picks up his ball, stares at his bat
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line
And he gives his all one last time

And the ball goes up like the moon so bright
Swings his bat with all his might
And the world's so still as still can be
And the baseball falls, and that's strike three

Now it's supper time and his mama calls
Little boy starts home with his bat and ball
Says I am the greatest, that is a fact
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that!!

He says, I am the greatest, that is understood
But even I didn't know that I could pitch that good!!


What a great line! I love this kid...
Enjoy your Friday today, and the start of your weekend;)
